At Bonitas we see Corporate Social Investment (CSI) as an integral part of our business. Through various
initiatives, we aim to have a positive impact on healthcare and the communities in which we operate.

It is for this reason that our revised CSI plan for
2019/2020 supports the Department of Health (DoH)
and Government’s strategic plan for sustainable health
solutions. This will be achieved by Bonitas partnering
with the DoH to:
•
•
•
Refurbish local government hospital wards/clinics
Improve healthcare infrastructure in disadvantaged
communities
Establish partnerships with private/public entities
to solve challenges in identified development areas
After engaging with the DoH and taking various criteria
and factors into consideration, five hospitals across four
provinces were identified as those in need, and have
been earmarked to be part of the CSI upliftment project.
The hospitals are:
•
•
•
•
•
Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital (Gauteng)
Thembisa Hospital (Gauteng)
RK Khan Hospital (Kwazulu-Natal)
Blouberg Hospital/Community Health Centre
(Limpopo)
Job Shimankana Tabane Provincial Hospital (North
West)
By joining forces with the DoH and Government, we’re
optimistic that this initiative will go from strength
to strength and not only make a difference in those
communities who need it, but to healthcare throughout
South Africa.
